Try this snippet:
% Ask user for a number.
defaultValue = 45.67;
titleBar = 'Enter a value';
userPrompt = 'Enter the number';
caUserInput = inputdlg(userPrompt, titleBar, 1, {num2str(defaultValue)});
if isempty(caUserInput),return,end; % Bail out if they clicked Cancel.
numericValue = str2double(cell2mat(caUserInput)); % May or may not be.
% Check for a valid number.
if isnan(numericValue)
% They didn't enter a number.
% They clicked Cancel, or entered a character, symbols, or something else not allowed.
numericValue = defaultValue;
message = sprintf('I said it had to be an integer.\nI will use %f and continue.', numericValue);
uiwait(warndlg(message));
end
